Books & Authors - July 2007

I want to publish a book on LuLu.com. But my brother is an artist and has agreed to do illustrations for the book. How will this work? Will I be able to add his illustrations to my book as well as give him the credit for his drawings?

Resistance literature is prominent where there is political opposition, and it works to restructure things historically, socially, and politically as well as inform and encourage further resistance. Many places have long histories of resistance literature (Palestine, Egypt, El Salvador, South America), but does the U.S.?

Is it usual for professional authors to make grammatical mistakes? If so will the book not be published if there are to many grammatical mistakes - or do they simple get edited out?

My thought is that Harry lives. But I think Snape and Hagrid die. I wouldn't be surprised if a Wesley joins them in death as well.

Eights say “good bye” to there elementary school after the graduation and soon look forward to saying “hi” to high school. But are they really ready to step into a whole new life?

On July 26th at 7pm was when that was “it” for the Bernard eights. They had to go up the stage and get the certificate they were waiting for since grade 1. But as soon as the moment was there all of a sudden a lot of grade eights did not want to graduate. Was it because they were going to not see a lot if there friends? And that they will have to make new friends? Or was it because of the change it will be, academicly? The graduation had been a normal grad,
Although a lot og the graduates did not like it at all.

A girl had said that here friends and her had agreeded that the graduation was not exactly what they had imagened it to be. Another student had said

My school work requests that I state a theme for some short stories that I am reading but not all the stories seem to have a theme. Such as "The Monkey" (Stephen King), the story is about an adult man who finds a long lost toy monkey with his sons. The story explains a mysterious evil power that the monkey has that the man discovered in his youth. With the return of the monkey, evil begins to arise again until the man discards it in a lake.
As much as I love the story, I can't see any real theme to it. Am I simply not thinking deep enough or does the story really lack a universal theme?

I have heard many people on Y!A claim that HP is unoriginal recycled garbage, but other than a few similarities to mytological stories, I can't think of anything I've read that made me say "Gee, JK Rowling must have copied the story of HP from this author." So, I would like to ask you people that claim HP is unorginal what your reasoning is. Thanks!

I'm writing an essay on The Pillowman for a lit. class. One thing that has come up in my paper is a negative impact of art. In the play, the main character writes horrific stories about children being murdered, and reads these to his "slow" brother. His brother then, acts out these horrific murders on three children in the town, because he thought his writer-brother was telling him to. It also says that he wanted to see if what his writer-brother wrote could work, because they seem far fetched.

Obviously, this guy's art had a negative impact on his brother. But, I don't know what to say about it. I want to talk about it, but I really don't know what to say! I don't think art should be sensored, but this is a REALLY bad impact that art had on someone.

How do you feel about this? Should an artist take into consideration what impact his art may have? Or does the artist have no responsiblity?

That would be really horrible...I've never heard of anyone writing a book after the original author was dead. That takes an amazing amount of audacity!!!
